Forbidden Regions

Famous quotes containing the words forbidden and/or regions:

    Panoramas are not what they used to be.
    Claude has been dead a long time

    Marx has ruined Nature,
    For the moment.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
